From ae0c3751ab08d3fe039d48935e9ad2c46711b23b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:32:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6975/1: pmu: reject duplicate PMU registrations Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the sequence: register_pmu(pmu1); reserve_pmu(pmu_type); register_pmu(pmu2); release_pmu(pmu1); Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved. This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.
